MOISTURE BETWEEN INSULATED PIECES OF WINDOW GLASS BECAME INCREASINGLY WORSE UNTIL WE CAN NO LONGER SEE OUR MIRRORS. THIS IS ON A 1999 HOLIDAY RAMBLER ADMIRAL MOTOR HOME. WE TRIED TO DRY THE WINDOW WITH A HAIR DRYER WHICH DID NOT WORK.WE HAD TO REMOVE THE INSULATION SEAL BETWEEN THE PANES TO TRY TO REMOVE THE MOISTURE. THAT HAS LEFT A DRY SURFACE BUT WE CAN NOT SEE OUT THE WINDOW. WE HAVE TO KEEP THE WINDOW OPEN AND THE PASSENGER HAS TO LOOK OUT THE WINDOW TO SAFELY MAKE LANE CHANGES OR TURNS. WE CONTACTED HOLIDAY RAMBLER TO GET THE WINDOW MFR. AND WERE TOLD THEY HAD GONE BANKRUPT. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THESE WINDOWS? IT IS THE FRONT SLIDER WINDOWS.
